The Proof - Metcalfe Farms

Always looking to improve and safeguard the health of their award-winning herd, Metcalfe Farms in North Yorkshire, UK, was eager to find a simple solution that promoted the health of their cow’s udders and complete milking.

Lactalign units are installed on Metcalfe’s 72-point Boumatic rotary parlour and independent trials have demonstrated accurately costed payback in a matter of months.

At Metcalfe Farms, the Lactalign supports have shown a 59% reduction in liner slip, a 47% reduction in kick-offs, a 65% reduction in re-attachments and a 50% reduction in mastitis cases in front quarters.

It was clear that well within 12 months, front/rear mastitis cases had totally evened out.
